Jeffs remains in custody on a $50,000 cash-only bond. He is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on March 29.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, an investigative bulletin was shared among all Longmont police on Feb. 1 asking officers to be on the lookout for Jeffs, suspected of using his phone, computers, scanners and other devices to counterfeit checks, credit cards and IDs. He was wanted for failing to appear at a sentencing hearing scheduled in his 2017 case for counterfeiting checks and IDs.

When Officer Esteban Lopez tried to arrest Jeffs in a parking lot at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and Main Street last Friday, Jeffs backed up his vehicle at a high rate of speed, knocking Lopez underneath the door and dragging him up to 20 feet in the road, according to the affidavit.

Lopez suffered a separated left scapula and a left ankle injury.
